Question

Check whether (x+1) is a factor of polynomial (x^4+1).
Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause..

Using factor theorem :-

x = -1

substituting into the equation... Of course if it is a factor then LHS should be equal to RHS that is 0.

So,

(-1)⁴ + 1

1 + 1

2

Since, 2 is not equal to zero

Therefore, (x + 1) is not a factor of the polynomial (x⁴+1)
